The 2016 election and news of the CFPB being ruled unconstitutional dominated headlines this past week. Check out what readers had to say about those topics and more.

"Credit Unions and Their Underdog Addiction," Sept. 22

Great analogy. I was just meeting with a few credit unions yesterday during a road trip and the smaller ones did have a bit of underdog mentality. However, I also met with a very large one (top 10 nationally). No underdog feels there. In fact, they considered anything was possible through their dedication. I'm not saying the smaller CUs were suffering under it (and they even said, "no excuses"), but it does change how you approach challenges.

"Millennial Employees Are Just Not That Into You," Sept. 27

"For millennials, work must have meaning" and "millennials also want managers who can coach to help them build their careers and their strengths and not fix their weaknesses."

So, research says the millennials want work that makes them feel good about themselves and they don't want to be told they need to work on some shortcomings? Cool! Where do I sign on??

I don't know anyone (liberal or conservative) who is happy with our choices this year. It's like going into an ice cream shop and the only choices are pickle and lima bean.

"Credit Union Declines Wendy's Card Use," Oct. 10

I do hope the credit union's communication with its members is very effective because it's the only way this strategy will work. Those members who don't get the message and go to Wendy's are still going to have their card swiped and therefore compromised if malware is present. A decline isn't going to stop the malware from collecting the card info. I'm certainly rooting for them though. Would love to see a follow up at some point on whether they were able to get their members to stop swiping their cards at Wendy's, i.e., whether this strategy ended up being effective.

"CFPB Is Unconstitutional, But Not out of Business," Oct. 11

Finally! Relief from these unchecked bureaucrats … now, we lenders can get back to developing loan products that serve the real needs of our customers at a fair and competitive price.

I see nothing changing in the near future. King Cordray will continue to rule on his own private agenda with the usual iron fist.

The stagecoach just lost another wheel. The BBB has removed Wells Fargo's accreditation status. Thank you BBB.
